Mauao track closure
Get your Mauao fix over the weekend as it will be closed during the following times next week to upgrade and resurface the Waikorire track 🌄
- Waikorire track closed: 8am Monday, 12 October to 4pm Friday, 16 October
- All of Mauao closed, all tracks: 7am to 4.30pm, Wednesday 14 October and Thursday 15 October (Friday 16 October if needed).
This means, there will be no public access on Mauao during this time.

Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?
The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.
This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
